  • Blaze Jordan 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Blaze Jordan: Plates two runs Friday

    Jordan went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's loss to the Royals.

    Jordan came through in the top of the ninth inning with a two-run single that scored Masyn Winn and Nelson Velazquez, but St. Louis came up short of completing the comeback. Jordan made his big-league debut June 12 against the Twins and has provided an offensive boost to the Cardinals' lineup while hitting safely in six of eight games so far. He has a home run, two doubles, a triple, seven RBI and five runs scored in 31 plate appearances so far.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Three hits Friday

    Edman went 3-for-5 with a double in Friday's 6-5 win over the Orioles.

    This was Edman's second game in the lineup since he recovered from ankle surgery he underwent in November. The utility man was held hitless Wednesday in his season debut. He got the start in left field and played the full game Friday, which is a positive sign. The Dodgers will likely take it slow in building up his workload, especially since the team has few weak spots in the lineup. Left field could be his best path to playing time, at least until Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) returns, as the combination of Ryan Ward and Alex Call isn't particularly exciting. When the Dodgers are healthy, Edman is likely to overtake Alex Freeland for the starting job at second base.

  • Royce Lewis 1B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Goes deep in loss

    Lewis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Lewis has four homers over 12 games since he returned from a stint with Triple-A St. Paul. He's also hitting .283 (13-for-46) in that span, which suggests his time in the minors helped him reset. For the season, Lewis is sporting a .200 average, .655 OPS, seven homers, 21 RBI, 18 runs scored, five doubles and four stolen bases over 43 contests at the big-league level.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Caleb Durbin: Homers again Friday

    Durbin went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and three total runs scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Mariners.

    Durbin has five homers this season, four of which have come over his last seven games. The third baseman is batting .271 (13-for-48) in June, but he's at just .203 with a .609 OPS on the year. He's added 28 RBI, 25 runs scored, five stolen bases, 13 doubles and a triple over 66 contests as the Red Sox's primary starter at third base.

  • Mariners' Miles Mastrobuoni: Designated for assignment

    The Mariners designated Mastrobuoni for assignment Friday.

    Mastrobuoni went 5-for-23 with an RBI and three runs scored during his eight-game stint with the Mariners, but he'll now lose his place on the 26-man and 40-man rosters in favor of Weston Wilson. Mastrobuoni owns just a .567 OPS across 474 plate appearances in his MLB career, but his defensive versatility could draw some attention on the waiver wire.

  • Weston Wilson 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Weston Wilson: Contract selected by Seattle

    The Mariners selected Wilson's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

    Wilson will return for his second stint in the majors this season, this time with a different team in Seattle. The 31-year-old appeared in 21 games with Baltimore before being designated for assignment June 6. Wilson slashed .231/.348/.33 with one homer in 46 plate appearances with the Orioles. Seattle designated Miles Mastrobuoni for assignment in order to make room for Wilson on the roster.

  • Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Resumes baseball activities

    Hernandez (oblique) has started some baseball activities but remains in the early stages of his rehab, per MLB.com.

    Hernandez suffered a "significant tear" of his left oblique May 26 in just his second game back after returning from a lengthy season-opening IL stint due to offseason elbow surgery. The super-utility man has been able to participate in some activities since landing on the IL for the second time, but he likely remains at least four weeks away from being able to return to big-league action.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: On bench again Friday

    Garcia (hand) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

    It's the third straight game on the bench for Garcia as he continues to manage soreness in his left hand. The 26-year-old departed Tuesday's matchup with the Nationals due to the injury, but it's actually a nagging issue that he's been dealing with throughout the past month. Nick Loftin is picking up another start at third base Friday.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Swats eighth homer Thursday

    McMahon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run against the White Sox in a loss Thursday.

    McMahon produced New York's only run of the game with a 430-foot blast in the third inning. It was the veteran third baseman's first extra-base hit since June 8, a span of eight games. Extending further, McMahon has batted just .233 with two homers and four RBI through 13 games in June. His .639 OPS over 67 contests is on pace for his career-worst mark over a full MLB season.

  • Colt Emerson SS | SEA

    Mariners' Colt Emerson: Drives in two, swipes first bag

    Emerson went 1-for-2 with a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 3-0 win over Baltimore.

    In his first plate appearance, Emerson lined a two-run single as part of a three-run frame that ultimately accounted for the game's only scoring. He also swiped his first base of the season in the first inning. The young infielder is batting 5-for-22 (.227) since returning to the lineup last week after missing a few games due to back spasms. On the season, Emerson is slashing .235/.309/.529 with six home runs, five doubles, a triple, 16 RBI and 13 runs across 26 contests.
